This bill amends the Michigan Penal Code to impose stricter penalties for crimes related to the adulteration and misuse of drugs, explosives, and harmful substances. It introduces increased penalties for individuals who knowingly or recklessly adulterate drugs, with potential life imprisonment for actions resulting in death. The legislation also addresses the unlawful use of harmful biological, chemical, and explosive substances, establishing severe penalties for violations that lead to property damage, personal injury, or death. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions such as "serious impairment of a body function" and allows for multiple charges if other violations occur during the commission of these offenses.

Moreover, the bill enhances penalties for violent crimes, including first-degree murder, terrorism, and criminal sexual conduct. It mandates life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder convictions, particularly those involving peace officers or corrections officers in the line of duty. The legislation also establishes severe consequences for willfully mingling poisons with consumables, particularly when such actions result in physical injury or death. It includes provisions for lifetime electronic monitoring of offenders in cases of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving victims under 13 years of age and ensures that perpetrators of terrorism resulting in death face life imprisonment without parole. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen public safety by reinforcing penalties for serious crimes.
